17. Now begin crearing icons. Selecr and rhen .
will rum orrho on and off. If orrho is on, all lines
will be ar 90 degrees ro each orher and parallel ro rhe currem UCS. There are several commands mar will help
now. \X!hen sraring wirh ACAD will prompr you
as ro where ro srarr rhe line. You can rype in coordinares
relarive ro me currem UCS or you can use rhe mouse and
click on a poinr. The nexr prompr will be . If
you know rhe dimension and you know rhe srarring coordinares you can rype in rhe poims as a funcrion of disrance in rhe currem UCS.
ex.
1,1
1,3
This would consrrucr a line parallel ro rhe x-axis rhar is 2
drawing unirs long. You can also rype in rhe size as a funcrion of disrance and relarive angle.
ex.
1,1
@2<0
ar 2 (drawing unirs) 0 degrees relarive
ro me srarring poinr.
. AlltoCAD has several other line rypes like
dashed, cenrerline, ere. You can draw in conrinuous and
change rhe line rype larer in . The nexr prompr
will again be . ]usr conrinue in rhe same manner and creare rhe foorprinr for your icon.
You can also creare a line, arc or circle wirh a srarring
poim relarive ro an already exisring line, arc, or circle.
There are several rools ro help wirh rhis funcrion called
"objecr snaps" or , .
<1m>

You can find several ways. Ir is in me pull down

Orher drawing commands you mighr need are circle
and are. The command will creare 20 circles.
Nrer enrering rhe cenrer poinr AlltoCAD will prompr for
a choice of radius or diamerer. Selecr your preference and
enrer rhe appropriare value. Then . You can also
define me circle by <3P> or rhree poinrs.
The command is more complicared. AlttoCAD
will prompr you ro selecr from rhe following menu.
1. Three poinrs on an are.
2. Srarr poinr, cenrer, end poinr.
3. Srarr poinr, cenrer, included angle.
4. Sran poinr, cenrer, chord length.
5. Srarr poinr, end poinr, radius.
6. Sran poinr, end poinr, included angle.
7. Sran poinr, end poinr, sraning direcrion
8. Cenrer poinr, srarring poinr, end poinr.
9. Cenrer poinr, srarring poinr, included angle.
10. Cenrer poinr, srarring poinr, chord length.
11. Conrinuarion of previous line or are.
<3P>
This would consrrucr rhe same line.
You can also use relarive coordinares.
ex.
1,1
@ +0,+2 (you can use +/- unirs)
Again, rhis would creare rhe same line.
Since you are in Alito CAD will assume
inches unless rold orherwise.
Generally you will be drawing in a line rype of
